i'm a righty for most everything, though have equally decent control over my left when it comes to other things. For touching myself at night i'm a switch hitter. ;)

Either my parents or one of teachers forced me to learn to write with my right hand.
Result of the various foolish superstitions about left handers, or what?
It used to be standard operating procedure for teachers to force lefties to learn to write right-handed. No reason, it was just "wrong" to write left-handed. It probably was leftover from Medieval superstitions. IIRC, in most Islamic countries they still force students to write right-handed. In Indonesia (again, IIRC), they'll actually bound a leftie student's left hand so he's forced to learn how to work right-handed. What's a crippling deformity compared to a primitive superstition, anyway, right?

That actually happened to my father, they bound his left hand to his chair if he dared to write with the left hand.

Right handed, but I can use the left at around 75% of the right.

Both are used during mens pasttime.

I suspect it's a mixture of superstition/tradition and not being bothered to inventing or buying stuff for lefties to use for writing or whatever better.

Right handed, masturbate with both hands but always finish on my right, dunno why. Is it possible that the reason my right arm is so in shape even though I do no physical work, because I masturbate so much? Hmm

Yes.

And only on SD.net (or some porn usergroup on USENET) could the subject of ambidextrous masturbation come up.

I use my left hand for writing, but it seems I can do everything else fine regardless of which hand I use.

Same here, but in my case it's because the box of tissues is on my left so it's easier to reach with my left hand.

Left handed for writing. Right handed for eating. Right handed for whacking it. Still consider myself left handed.

Do they make left hand mice?

Left-handed, all the way.

Why in Valen's name would they? While there ARE a number of Mice fitted for the right hand, there's also any number that's neutral, and since switching button functions is a software option, what's the problem? (And that's assuming you need to, I'm a southpaw and I manage with the usual button layout just fine).

Same. My left hand can hardly even hold things without dropping them. When I walk I don't swing my left arm.

All the girls I'v ever gotten close to however have been Left handed. with exception to my Melbourne girl who's ambidexterous, but writes with her left hand so she's left handed enough :p

I am right handed in everything except for masturbation and using the mouse. For those, I am ambidexterous.

I believe that they do, but the whole thing seems to be a waste to me, as I can use just about any mouse just fine with my right hand. In fact, it seems harder to use my left hand to control them.
